Medical School at 29? Any mature students studying medicine?

Hi guys,

I’m a 26 year old currently re-taking my science GCSE’s (Biology, Chemistry, Physics) - exams in May / June (eeek). I start my 2 year A-Level course in September (Biology, Chemistry, English).

Studying medicine to become a doctor is my dream and I am hoping the blood sweat and tears of re-taking my GCSE’s and A-Levels will pay off. Aiming to apply for Med school in 2022 / 2023 at the ripe age of 30

I currently work as a PA to a neuroscientist at UCL and have a great network around me with great opportunities for work experience in hospitals, etc, and hoping a reference from my boss will come in handy too, ha.

Anyway, sorry for the waffle, would be amazing to hear from other mature students who took a slightly longer route to medicine? What route did you take RE securing the grades required? How did you find the interviews?

My biggest concern is not getting the A grades all London Med Schools require... I have my heart set on studying at Kings

Thanks if you read this far

Did you have A levels from your school days and they'd gone 'stale', or is this your first set?
